I am really looking forward to seeing the program tonight.

I know what my views are and my hopes and expectations are.

Personally, I am intrigued by the differences between then and now, as well as by the similarities.

I think it has a way of making people a little stronger and a little better.

I can say without any reservation or qualification that it is a particular pleasure to come to these dinners.

I said this country needed an immediate Federal income tax cut to reverse the current recession and create more jobs.

What we don't need is a timewasting test of strength between the Congress and the President.

The important thing is that the Congress is finally moving on our urgent national energy problem.

I call upon appropriate officials of the Government to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on that day in testimony of our loyalty to this Nation.

What we need next is a comprehensive energy program to end our dependence on foreign oil producers.

I do call upon the people of the United States...to observe Thursday, May 1, 1975, as Loyalty Day, with appropriate ceremonies.

The United States has become the greatest Nation in history because of the loyalty of our people to our Constitution, to our laws, and to those ideals which they represent.

It is now nearly two hundred years since America's Independence was sought and won.

The Vladivostok accord will enable our two countries to establish significant limits on the strategic arms race.

We shall make every effort to achieve such an outcome.

The genius of the American people may be said to lie in their ability to search for and find practical solutions, even to the most difficult of problems.

Arms control offers a potential solution to many of the problems we currently face.

The U.S. will continue to seek practical steps to avert this danger.

We must maintain an adequate defense against potential great-power adversaries.

I intend to be a candidate for a political party that is devoted to the basic principles that have built this country from a small nation of some 3 million to a strong, vigorous, effective nation of over 213 million people.

I started in the Young Republicans.

The Democrats have submitted a plan which is carefully thought out.

I am today granting a final extension of the termination date for applications under the clemency program from March 1 until March 31, 1975.

It is a pretty dismal performance.

The Republican Party that I believe in is a party that also, in addition to maintaining the peace, is a party that believes in the free enterprise system and an economy that is strong and that will grow and get stronger.
